A Word from Pastor Dennis – June 17, 2020
Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:21
There is an ancient parable entitled "The Monkey's Fist" that teaches a profound lesson. Native tribes would hollow out coconuts, fill them with bait and them tether them to a tree to lure monkeys. When a monkey would reach into the small opening, his hand would fit. But, once his hand was full of bait, the monkey couldn't get his hand out. The coconut was not the monkey's undoing, but rather his greedy unwillingness to let go of the bait.
A lot of people are like that. They clutch their material positions above all other concerns including their faith. God help us to avoid that trap.
